Apparently Maryland is the “worst” place to retire in the United States.
A new list from Moneywise notes the state’s great golfing, beaches, and proximity to major cities, but cited congested roads, surprise tornadoes and winter storms from the Atlantic as a reason not to retire there.
Moneywise also pointed to the state’s high cost of living, taxes on IRAs and above-average health care costs.
“Retirees in Maryland are bound to be crabby,” Moneywise wrote, citing Kiplinger.
Below are the top 5 worst states to retire in, per Moneywise's list.
- Maryland
- New York
- New Mexico
- Louisiana
- Rhode Island
